The Crit

24/03/11 

This is my final Louis Vuitton article for Interview Magazine, laid out on InDesign. The image I have used is made up of my photographs of the store and my own illustrations and was inspired partly by the images below from the Tom Ford issue of Interview.

 

 

My Crit went well, with my cover image being picked out as one of the effective ones and my Miu Miu video was praised. However the layout for my article was criticised for the heavy black rectangle above the title. I can see now that I should have swapped the rectangles round so the thicker one was at the bottom as this is considered to be more visually pleasing. I have learnt from this project how to manage my time effectively as we had a lot of different things to do in a short space of time what with the articles, photographs, cover shoot, illustration and the graphics to do. It has also made me more confident in writing in different styles as the web article had to be very factual and succinct whilst the print article was with 'added colour' so had to be more personal and descriptive. My skills on InDesign and Photoshop have also improved.
